Are you held hostage in your own life?

Whenever we are living life according to expectations or needs other than those that flow from who We Truly Are, from our soul or divine self, we’re being held hostage. Our own desires, needs and wants are held hostage to the desires of others and the pressures of the world. The odds of us ever creating for ourselves the life we were born to live seem insurmountable. We’re dis-empowered, at a loss as to how to create any of what we desire.

As each day goes by we seem to spend more and more time and effort assisting others and doing what is required of us, completing our work and looking after our families, yet we’re no further ahead in ourselves.

Given up all hope of joy?

As we move through our lives, suspending our own desires for yet another day, and another, and another, it seems our own joy is endlessly delayed until the hope of it fades into impossibility. We no longer know what it is that gives us joy, and the skill of creating it departed long ago. We trudge through our lives in the best way we can.

We feel insignificant, of no value to the world. It’s impossible for us to find the power we need to create some ease and pleasure in our lives. Or is it?
